yes, the opposed piston has been around, and the opposed cylinder is in my current car(subaru), but have there been cars with both?

There was aircraft with opposed piston used in WWII, that's where I knew of it from. I don't know of any cars that have utilized it.
The opposed cylinder (boxer) has been in common use in automotive and aircraft since at least the 1930's.
